He asked me: "Mayor Feng, what do you mean by this? Please explain it to me again."
I smiled and continued: "For example, if we find an ordinary planning agency, and their quotation is only five million, then the likely result is that the plan they plan will not do anything at all to promote our city.
effect, in this case, the five million will basically be wasted.
However, if we are looking for a top planning agency, such as a well-known director like Zhang Yimou, because he has done planning like "Impression of Liu Sanjie" and achieved great success, even if his fee is tens of millions,
The money is spent very straightforwardly.
Not only is his planning unique, but it is also a good advertising resource. Therefore, I think that when it comes to urban planning, we should not take the immediate difficulties too seriously and be willing to spend money.
, otherwise, we might as well not do such a thing."
But he shook his head and said: "For a great director like Zhang Yimou, the fees he charges are really too expensive. And now he has made urban planning plans for many places, but they all feel the same.
Also, the planning of several places he did later was not actually done by him at all, but by other cultural companies. He just used a name. Therefore, I think the publicity issue of our Dongjiang Ancient City is
We must reflect our own characteristics.”
What he said was indeed reasonable and factual. I nodded and said, "Secretary Dong, your opinion does get to the crux of the problem. So, do you have any better ideas about this?"
He smiled and said: "I am not a professional in this area, and I can't think of any better ideas. But I have been thinking about this issue recently.
Mayor Feng, let's see if we can do this - find a relatively good planning company, so that we can spend a lot less money, but we can spend more money on hiring people to speak for us, such as that Zhuang Qing
, she is from our Jiangnan Province, wouldn’t it be better if we invite her to represent our Dongjiang Ancient City?”
I didn't expect that he would make such a suggestion, but I felt that his idea was also very good. I thought to myself that maybe he already knew about my relationship with Zhuang Qing, because there were already many people who knew about this matter.
It would be better for him to tell me about my relationship with Zhuang Qing than for me to say some words myself.
I said: "Secretary Dong, Zhuang Qing and I have always had a good relationship. She and I used to be colleagues in the same department. I can go to her about this matter, and I can also do work for her and ask her to help with the charging issue.
Try to take care of us as much as possible, I think it shouldn't be a big problem.
But I think this matter should be discussed with the planning company before discussing it. As you just said, we are not professionals in this field, so we should listen to other people’s professional suggestions."
He nodded, "Okay, you hurry up and do this. But we can put forward our ideas to the planning company, unless they have a better plan."
I said: "Secretary Dong, according to relevant national regulations, such a large project must be subject to bidding. Now I have an idea, that is, we can start publicity for this project from the time of bidding, such as
We can collect advertising slogans from the whole society, and we can publicize this information in some major media."
He smiled and said: "This is a good idea. Okay, you should hurry up and do it. First, you must come up with a specific plan as soon as possible, and then implement it step by step. There is also the problem of funding, you must also find a way to solve it."
I smiled and said: "The funding problem for this matter should not be big. After all, it is implemented in steps, which gives us some breathing space. The most critical issue now is the highway project. Once this project is approved,
Many of the next problems will be solved easily.”
He asked me: "Mayor Feng, have you ever thought about what we should do next if Li Ka-shing's company is not willing to invest in this project? What I am worried about now is that if other companies are not willing to invest in this project,
If we invest, what should we do? We can't give up because of that result, right?"
I said: "Secretary Dong, I have thought about this problem. If it doesn't work, we can invest it ourselves. Although doing this will bring us greater financial difficulties, I think there are always ways to solve these difficulties.
, For example, we can split this project into many shares, and then persuade the provincial leaders to mobilize our state-owned enterprises and private enterprises in Jiangnan Province to invest in it, and more than 4 billion yuan of funds should be able to come together."
He sighed and said: "Mayor Feng, your idea is good, but I think it is better not to do it unless it is absolutely necessary. It is too difficult to do so, and it is also difficult to convince the leaders in the province. More importantly,
What’s more, if the whole province is concentrated on the matter of our industrial park, this may not necessarily be a good thing for you or me.”
I understood what he meant: If that were to happen, his and my political achievements would be greatly compromised. In terms of personal development, this is indeed a loss that outweighs the gain.
I nodded and said: "Secretary Dong, I understand what you mean. We will try our best to get Li Ka-shing's company to invest, and I now feel that this possibility is very high. If that is the case, our industrial park's
This will solve most of the problem.”
After returning to my office, I called Mayor Sun to come to my office.
Although I already know in my heart that Mayor Sun has some contempt for me, I can only pretend that I don’t know anything. And now I also understand one thing: if I am more polite to him, maybe he will feel sorry for me in his heart.
My contempt will become even more serious.
Now that I think about it, what Secretary Dong once said to me is not unreasonable. My appointment is an organizational matter. Now I am the top leader of the government department here, and Mayor Sun is just my deputy, so I don’t know how to do it at all.
Don't think too much about his personal emotions.
He came soon. I smiled and asked him to sit down and asked the secretary to make him a cup of tea. I smiled and said to him: "My tea is this year's new tea. You can try it."
He took a sip and said with a smile: "It's really good. Mayor Feng is also very knowledgeable about tea?"
I smiled at him and waved my hand: "I drink tea just like I drink. It doesn't matter what kind of tea I drink. I can't tell the difference between good and bad. In the final analysis, it's just a kind of psychological satisfaction. Mayor Sun, let's discuss the recent past.
